The 2 percent property tax cap isn’t even through the Assembly, and bills related to it or altering it are already being proposed in the state Legislature:

Bills proposed Thursday would:

Eliminate a local property tax levy cap penalty that would be created for paying down debt, which is among the complaints made by mayors such as Elizabeth’s Christian Bollwage.

Create a task force of academics that will track the progress of the 2% property tax cap and recommend changes. The governor, Senate president and Assembly speaker would name two people each. Report would be due by Nov. 1, 2013 … four days before the next gubernatorial election.

Apply the same 2 percent cap to annual spending on state government operations. Gov. Chris Christie had wanted a 2.5% percent cap locked into the state constitution, back when that was the level of the property tax cap being pushed.
